Reviewers can share photos, finished images, and details from their Macroscopic Solutions experience.
Scientific imaging systems, optics, software, and support
High-resolution imaging workflows for specimens, cores, thin sections, and 3D models.
Macroscopic Solutions helps research, museum, education, geoscience, and inspection teams choose the right system, capture method, optics, software, and support option.
Find the right solution faster
Start with the research problem—not the product catalog.
Choose the card that matches your lab or sample. Each guide explains the imaging problem, the equipment that solves it, and when it makes more sense to send the work to our imaging lab.

Products
The imaging systems customers rely on most.
Macropod systems, CoreScan, Mitutoyo optics, Canon capture equipment, Agisoft Metashape, and controlled-lighting accessories support the recurring imaging, microscopy, measurement, and digitization work we are asked to solve.
Portable high-resolution imaging for specimens, focus stacking, 3D photogrammetry capture, museum digitization, teaching labs, and research documentation.
Mitutoyo M Plan Apo objective workflows for samples that need much higher magnification, stronger optical detail, and controlled lighting.
Automated long-sample imaging for drill core, slabs, petrographic context, geoscience records, and future modular 3D core rotation workflows.
Automated microscopic scanning for tree cores, dendrochronology, narrow cores, and long linear samples with stitched optical detail.
A higher-quality petrographic imaging approach for plain light, polarized light, thin sections, petrographic slides, and geological analysis.
Node-locked, floating, standard, professional, and educational licenses for photogrammetry, 3D modeling, orthomosaics, and scientific documentation.
Stable granite plates, steel stands, and support accessories for flat reference surfaces, precision imaging stations, and vibration-control planning.
Toolmakers microscopes, measuring microscopes, optical measuring platforms, and accessories for precision inspection workflows.
Canon EOS R bodies and camera options for Macropod, CoreScan, photogrammetry, field documentation, and scientific imaging workflows.
Turtledove diffusers, printable lighting accessories, adapters, and close-up lighting setups for repeatable macro and micro imaging.
Need the result before the equipment?
Send the sample to Macroscopic Solutions.
Use the imaging lab for publication-oriented imagery, a representative-sample pilot, a one-time project, or an ongoing capture backlog. From whole specimens to the finest detail visible-light optics can resolve, we capture at the highest useful magnification the optics and specimen permit. We can also use the completed work to define what an in-house system would need to reproduce.
